A raw, redemptive conversation with Tina Huggins about healing religious sexual shame, restoring trust in marriage, and breaking the real roots of porn addiction.

What if your deepest struggle with porn addiction isn’t about lust—but about unhealed shame?

In this episode of the No More Desire podcast, host Jake Kastleman sits down with Tina Huggins, a restorative family mediator and certified divorce coach who shares insights for porn addiction recovery, religious trauma, and high-conflict relationships. Tina has spent years guiding men and couples—including those from Christian backgrounds—through the real roots of addiction, helping them overcome shame, rebuild intimacy, and heal their marriages from the inside out.

Let’s be clear—Tina’s not here to tell anyone to walk away from their marriage. Her focus is on restoration, not separation. She brings an emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed approach to healing that blends psychology, physiology, and spiritual wisdom.

What We Cover in This Conversation:

• How religious teachings around sex can create toxic shame—and fuel pornography addiction
• Why men often confuse sexual desire with sin—and how it warps self-worth
• What most wives misunderstand about their partner’s porn use—and how to respond with strength and compassion
• The science of trauma in the body and how unresolved emotional wounds drive addiction
• How couples can heal together through truth-telling, vulnerability, and connection

Tina also shares gripping real-life experience working in battered women’s shelters, natural medicine, and recovery settings—giving her rare insight into the real emotional pain behind compulsive behavior, especially for Christian men facing sexual shame.

Whether you’re battling porn addiction, supporting a spouse, or trying to heal your marriage from betrayal and isolation, this episode is packed with truth, compassion, and tools for lasting change.

No More Desire

We often think of a rock bottom story as the moment someone relapses, destroys their marriage, or hits crisis during active addiction. But what if rock bottom doesn’t come at the start of recovery? What if it shows up years after sobriety, long after you’ve quit porn?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the story of my real rock bottom—a collapse that came after I had overcome porn, but before I had truly healed.

This isn’t just about addiction. It’s about how perfectionism, spiritual bypassing, emotional suppression, and the need for control nearly ruined my life—even while I was “doing everything right.”

Whether you’re just beginning your porn addiction recovery journey or have years of sobriety behind you, this episode will speak to the deeper layers of healing:

• How I became addicted to productivity, spiritual performance, and “doing recovery perfectly”
• Why emotional sobriety matters just as much as behavioral sobriety
• How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped me see that the voice I thought was the Spirit was actually a perfectionist protector part of my mind
• The danger of confusing God’s will with your own fear
• The moment I realized I had built my identity on shame, not truth
• How I began healing my marriage, my mental health, and my relationship with God
• What I learned about accountability, ownership, and the power of being real

You’ll also hear about how my first attempt at building a recovery business failed, what I learned from hitting emotional and spiritual bottom, and how my understanding of faith and addiction recovery had to radically change in order for me to grow.

This is for the man who’s done the surface-level work… but still feels stuck.

It’s for the guy who feels anxious, isolated, or ashamed even years into recovery.

It’s for anyone ready to stop running, get honest, and choose growth.

If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome shame, reclaim your agency, and pursue real healing from addiction—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Do you feel sexually broken from years of porn addiction and compulsive masturbation? Like you've damaged your body, your mind, and your marriage—and there’s no way back?

In this episode of the No More Desire podcast, Jake Kastleman explores the reality of self-inflicted sexual trauma and what it truly takes to overcome porn addiction. You’ll learn how to stop watching porn, confront your shame, and begin the process to stop for good.

Using the lens of Internal Family Systems, neuroscience, and spiritual truth, Jake helps you reclaim healthy masculinity and take responsibility without self-condemnation. This is about emotional healing for men, the kind that leads to deep, lasting men’s sexual healing and the freedom to love with integrity.
